IIRC I added this SCSI extension cable to the connector for the Zip drive. Checked my other harness which doesn't have one. https://www.amazon.com/CablesOnline-8-inches-2-54mm-Pitch-Extension-FR-5008M/dp/B0CKV7PQ91/?th=1 I see no reason why you can't crimp an IDC female to the harness just...

Most, if not all Mac CD drives are assigned as SCSI ID 3, but that's on the drive jumpers. ISTR, SCSI ID 0 is assigned to the boot drive. The 6400/6500 harnesses have an extension of the SCSI portion of that CD Adapter socket setup with connector and cable end termination for the optional ZIP...

Still hoping to get the MDD'03 squared away before deadline, but less than encouraging update. Amazon and USPS still say HDD is arriving today, however tracking details don't mention it having left the Memphis facility as of 3:50 PM today . . . . . . so it goes. :rolleyes:

MDD'03 has been booting up fine every day, stiction seems at bay for now.🤞 2.5" IDE/160 made it to Memphis Friday at 3:41PM and supposedly arrives tomorrow as scheduled. Not holding my breath, given the weather between here and there since then. A fresh install of OS9Lives and transfer of data...

Also looking into this one, hate touchscreens with a passion. This one'll still fit into my knockdown, rolling big@ss toolbox electronics workstation setup. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B097T5NRTZ

Great project, following closely. :) Very much interested in your learning curve as you gain experience with this scope. I'm looking into a bit more capable, medium range scopes for my electronics exploration, to keep this thread clean...

I've been watching the Budget Oscilloscope discussions . . . https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/budget-oscilloscope-recommendation.4590/post-39614 . . . but have a problem with spending 10% of the cost of a much more capable medium range O-scope. Budget jobs appear to top out at working...

Day 21 ended with a victory of sorts. Gave up on running the 1440p Display from the DVI port on the new card. Haven't been able to get more than 1080p from there and thru the KVM switch so I gave up and hooked up a VGA Cable. Gotta switch the display to VGA manually, PITA that. But VGA is...

Powerbase over at the MLA said he understands this to be standard behavior. Looks to me to be behaving like unclean Macs running without MODE32 addressing memory over 8MB and listing it as system memory allocation. But 1.99GB? That's just strange. Sure would be nice to have an OS9 extension...

Day 20 - Decided to spin the stictionistic drive up every day until the new one arrives after all. Tried to install drivers for the new VidCard: Interesting results: Forcing boot from the OS9Lives CD got me up and running the iterative which freakin' extension is poleaxing the system...

Day 19? Caught a break! Clonked the 3.5" spinner that was making death rattles on the bench a couple of times and tried it again. I booted right up! Found the install of DiskWarrior I'd done in preparation for trying to recover the HDD from the DA. I'd moved it over to a Beige G3 when the DA...

Very cool! Is that a single board computer on as passive backplane setup?

Thanks, p! Ran into some trouble, there's no Zip driver on the OS9Lives installer CD. Started thread at the MLA: https://68kmla.org/bb/threads/zip-utility-disk-build-utilities-intended-to-run-booting-under-optical-installer-media-suggestions.51469/ Suggested support be added to the Installer...

Day 16? Stripped all the HDDs out of the MDD'03, got it booting from OS9Lives Installer and hit another dead end. :rolleyes: For now anyway: Drive Setup says my 128MB mSATA SSDs are unsupported 1) Tried one with SATA adapter on new card, not surprised it didn't work out of the gate 2) Tried...

Good tip, that' about like using toothpicks in a stripped screwhole in a wooden cabinet door. But without the wood glue.

LOL! Yep, it's hilarious, buddy. But I think I've noodled it out. Having VGA hooked up to the the 4:5 panel and DVI running through pestiferous ADC(?) via converter looks to have been the problem. DVI output to HDMI cable was creating a "ghost screen" along with VGA output to the 4:5 panel...

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: Accursed MDD'03 just took another step backward on day twelve! USPS dropped off the Amazon package with a pair of the same DVI -> HDMI cables I'm using for the two HP Docking Station on the KVM Switch. I'm not getting video from...

Thanks for those vid links, may have to take a look at that board!

Day 11 and after booting up like a champ the first time I fired it up out in the living room on day 8, it returns to the glorious state of flakiness that got it into the challenge! Drive kept repeating sounds like like galloping horses, but managed to make it to the happy Mac boot screen the...

Has anyone tried piggybacking chips to double the available video memory on the NuBus PPC Mac boardss? Given support for differing amounts of avaiable page buffer memory on the PDS cards, it might be worth looking into? In POST the system determines the amount available for output on the PDS...
